Files

• NEW: Several files and folders can now be deleted at once, with Delete in the same Actions menu. The confirmation lists what's selected and says when that includes folders and everything in them, and one notification lists everything deleted.
• CHANGE: Searching Files now also says how many emailed files match the search, with a link to see them in Emailed Files.
• CHANGE: The note at the top of Emailed Files and Emailed Photos said only that deleting an attachment from its message removes it from the list. It now also says that deleting one from the list deletes it from the message, and that copies made in a folder or album aren't affected. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41566
• CHANGE: In the Move dialog, clicking a folder moved the item straight away, before you'd seen the Notify Members box below the folder list. Clicking a folder now selects it, and a Move button next to Notify Members does the move. The dialog's title names what's being moved. The folder you're in, and a folder being moved along with everything inside it, are greyed out instead of failing without a word when chosen.
• CHANGE: Moving a file or folder now shows a message saying where it went, with a link to that folder. Moves that couldn't be done, because you can't edit the item or it no longer exists, used to do nothing without saying so; the message now says why.
• CHANGE: Copying many attachments at once made the copy dialog run off the bottom of the screen. The list of attachments now scrolls inside its own box, so the folder choice and buttons stay in view. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41597
• CHANGE: The copy dialog now starts with the folder or album you last copied to in that group, instead of always the first one. Moving a photo starts with the album you last moved one to, and the Move dialog in Files starts with the folder you last moved to already chosen and shown. You still press Move or Copy, and a choice you cancel isn't kept. This is remembered in your browser only. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41597
• CHANGE: The title of the Move dialog now says whether a file or folder is being moved and puts its name in quotes, so a long folder name doesn't run into the title. The Move button now has the same folder-and-arrow icon as each row's Move link, and the dialog for deleting several items is titled Verify Delete, as the single delete is. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41597
• CHANGE: Emailed Files and Emailed Photos now point moderators to Manage Attachments, where many attachments can be selected and deleted at once. The link from Emailed Photos opens the list showing only images. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41597
• BUGFIX: Files larger than 5 MB were cut to their first 5 MB before their text was extracted for search. That breaks PDF and Word files, whose structure depends on the whole file, so the text inside large documents often couldn't be searched. Files are now read whole.
• BUGFIX: The notification for a moved file or folder said it had been uploaded. It now says it was moved, and where to.
• BUGFIX: Copying an attachment to Files wasn't recorded in the activity log; copying to Photos was. It now is, with the copy's folder. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41597
• BUGFIX: In the notification sent to moderators when attachments were copied to Files, the link to each copy was missing its folder and a slash, so it led to a page that didn't exist. It now links to the file in its folder. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41597
• BUGFIX: The Update button in the Update File dialog was green, while Update Folder and Update Link were blue, and the Update dialogs on Files search results used another color. They now all match the Update buttons elsewhere on the site. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41599

Photos

• NEW: Images attached to group messages can now be copied to a photo album, from the message, from Manage Attachments or from the Emailed Photos album. As with Files, the copy is kept separately from the message, shows where it came from, and uses Photos storage like any upload. Photos may be resized when they're saved.
• NEW: A photo can now be deleted from its own page, without opening Edit Photo first. It asks you to confirm, with the same Notify Members option. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41598
• CHANGE: On a photo's page, the Edit, Move and Delete buttons were below the photo, so changing one meant scrolling past it. For people who can change the photo, they're now above it; Download and Report stay below. On Emailed Photos, Delete moves up the same way, and Message and Copy to Photos stay below. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41598
• CHANGE: The Owner lists on Edit Album and Edit Photo weren't in any useful order; Edit Album sorted by email address while showing names. Both are now in alphabetical order by the name shown, ignoring case. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41598
• CHANGE: The Yes button in the Verify Update dialog on Edit Album and Edit Photo had a file icon. It now has the same save icon as the Update button that opens the dialog. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41598
• CHANGE: In the New Album and New Sub-Album dialogs, Album Title is now marked as required, and Create stays disabled until the title has something in it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41601
